Hello translator and release team friends, as you may know 4.12 is very close
to its beta release and that brings us an interesting problem.
This is the problem:
October 31: 4.11.3 tagging
November 6: 4.12 Beta 1 tagging
November 13: 4.12 Beta 2 tagging
November 20: 4.12 Beta 3 tagging
November 27: 4.12 Release Candidate tagging
November 28: 4.11.4 tagging
December 11: 4.12 tagging
January 2: 4.11.5 tagging
As you can see only a week after 4.11.3 we have the tagging of 4.12Beta1 and
then a lot of beta/RC releases of 4.12 with the final release of 4.12.x in
between 4.11.4 and 4.11.5.
That is all fine code wise since we have an infinite number of branches, so we
basically have KDE/4.11, KDE/4.12 and master and people just fix stuff in the
correct place.
Translation wise it is a different, we only have two branches at a time,
stable and trunk, so mapping those three branches is going to mean doing some
compromises in what code branch ends up in which translation branch.
This is my suggestion:
* Before KDE SC 4.11.3 all is like now, stable-l10n points to KDE/4.11 and
trunk-l10n points to master
* After KDE SC 4.11.3 and before 4.12 Beta 1 we make stable-l10n point to
KDE/4.12 and trunk-l10n points to master
This means that for KDE SC 4.11.4 and KDE SC 4.11.5 we will repackage the same
translations of 4.11.3 (actually we'll package them from
http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/4.11/kde-l10n/ but since that's outside the
l10n workflow i don't expect people to touch it much/at all).
Comments?
Cheers,
Albert
